Leaked Acer slides suggest the company is planning a high-end nettop device that would use NVIDIA’s Ion graphics chipset. The Acer Hornet is a small form-factor computer that would use either a dual or single-core Intel Atom processor, together with the 1080p-capable Ion, and be optionally VESA mounted on the back of a monitor.
MacMini... neka 2004 ako se ne varam... s'tim sto nema ION nego punokrvni C2D ...
Acer might become one of the first manufacturers to jump onto the Ion bandwagon. According to Taiwanese website Digitimes, Acer is set to launch its first Nvidia Ion-based nettop computer called the Hornet. Industry sources told the website that the launch will happen in Beijing on April 8, 2009.
The Acer Hornet will have an asking price of under $300. The petite PC will also have a motion-sensing controller a la Nintendo Wii. The controller is not only meant for gaming but also for generic control. According to Nvidia, the first Ion-based notebooks, netbooks and PCs are just around the corner – to hit retail in the second quarter.
NVIDIA and Acer collectively took the wraps off the very first NVIDIA Ion-based design win, with a sleek new SFF PC (Small Form Factor PC) called the AspireRevo. Built on the NVIDIA Ion platform, the AspireRevo consists of NVIDIA's GeForce 9400 chipset with integrated graphics in support of Intel's Atom processor. Specifically, this new Acer system comes with an Atom 230 on board, which is a single core variant versus the dual core variant NVIDIA was showing in their Ion reference system. The new little system looks a tad like Asus' Eee Box perhaps, but with a bit more styling and of course a lot more GPU horsepower under the hood for multi-media and full HD video offload processing on the Ion platform IGP.
In a press briefing today NVIDIA commented that while the Acer AspireRevo offers a single-core Atom implementation, that dual core Atom-based Ion products will be forth coming. In addition, NVIDIA plans to foster VIA-based Ion designs as well. Pricing for the AspireRevo, though not confirmed just yet, is expected to be around the $299 mark.
Ako moze da se kupi bez OS-a onda cu staviti neki Linux.
btw.. procitajte TINQ clanak o ovoj spravi.. neverovatno koliko je Charlie naopak lik.

novo je to sto pusta 1080p i usput trosi 24W, na idle oko 8W. Baterija ti drzi oko 20 sati. Jel dosta? 🙂 (mozes 3 filma u avionu da pogledas, dok komprativno na 1500$ mac book-u mozes jedan i po.)
Charlie spominje da vredi chekati odgovor AMD i VIA kompanija. Koliko se secam, Athlon@780G je ispao (nazalost) iz igre zbog politike AMD-a, ali chemu mozemo (realno) da se nadamo od VIA, a da bude osetno bolje?
